1 Samuel 15:22 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 22 Samuel then said: “Does Jehovah take as much pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices+ as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Look! To obey is better than a sacrifice,+ and to pay attention than the fat+ of rams; Psalm 51:16, 17 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 16 For you do not want a sacrifice—otherwise I would give it;+You do not find delight in a whole burnt offering.+ 17 The sacrifices pleasing to God are a broken spirit;A heart broken and crushed, O God, you will not reject.*+ Hosea 6:6 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 6 For in loyal love* I delight, not in sacrifice,And in the knowledge of God, rather than in whole burnt offerings.+
